AXIA Venture’s research team covers Greece and Cyprus, with particular expertise in energy, financial institutions, real estate, shipping and transportation. The 34 companies in the team’s coverage represent more than 97% of the Greek stock market by daily trading volumes.
The team’s research process is active and market-facing: the team scans local and international news flow daily, assesses the implications for the market and individual stocks, speaks regularly with company IR teams and senior management, and then communicates actionable views to investors. This gives AXIA a research model that is both broad in coverage and responsive to market-moving developments.
In terms of research formats, the team produces daily notes, regional updates, weekly recaps, weekly reviews, sector reports, company reports, initiations, flash notes, earnings previews, results reviews, strategy reports and macro updates.
At the beginning of the year, its Greek thematic report included specific estimates for 23 companies with a combined market capitalisation of €106 billion, equivalent to 67% of the market’s total capitalisation. During 2025, AXIA issued 13 initiation or in-depth reports, alongside numerous quick-reaction notes. The integration of AXIA within the Alpha Bank Group in December 2025 should further strengthen this capability, adding six experienced research professionals to the team.
AXIA’s 2025 top picks returned an average of 56% in the year, outperforming the stock market index. The team was bullish on Greek banks early, capturing what became one of the key drivers of market outperformance in 2025.
Research also influenced market sentiment: the team’s research and follow-up investor meetings on PPC, which delivered a 52% total return in 2025, contributed to several investors increasing exposure to the name. Research and roadshows for GEK Terna, which returned 40.4%, similarly led several investors to increase exposure.
